Build Host (Japsand) Updated to Debian Stretch
by Mihai Moldovan 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Dear all a few weeks ago I took the opportunity and updated our build host to Debian Stretch. Build failures of *SUSE packages due to a newer version of obs-build were fixed subsequently. We're now running a customized version with backported fixes and commits from the upstream obs-build repository pulled in. The environment powering wiki.x2go.org has also been updated. All systems should be working normally. As always, if you encounter broken packages or inconsistencies in repositories, please file a bug report with X2Go BTS[1].

Heads-Up: X2Go: The Gathering 2017 will be taking place 2017-09-22 to 2017-09-24
by Stefan Baur 29 May '17

29 May '17

+++ Attention +++ Attention +++ Attention +++ Attention +++ X2Go: The Gathering 2017 will be taking place 2017-09-22 to 2017-09-24 We currently have two possible locations (Linuxhotel, and a hacker space in the southwest of Germany) that already confirmed they can host our event in the given timeframe, and are currently evaluating a third (in the city where X2Go was created, Treuchtlingen, Germany). A Wiki page with all available options will get linked and mentioned on the X2Go-Project Mailing List shortly after 2017-05-15 (our Decision Day for the Treuchtlingen location), along with a list of Pros and Cons for each location. We intend to have a public vote amongst all potential participants regarding the location from when said wiki page goes live until 2017-06-15. Note that we reserve the right to deviate from the poll result if it turns out that it would mean an undue hardship for one or more of the core X2Go team members or our sponsors, or if something happens after the end of the polling timeframe that requires us to reconsider, like, a location suddenly increasing prices, strikes, natural disasters, etc. Please mark the date in your calendars already, as while we haven't decided on the location yet, *the date is fixed* - as it is the only weekend where we have enough "critical mass" regarding the core X2Go team members.

Dear all I am happy to announce that from now on the X2Go package archive that provides Fedora packages of X2Go[1] also offers X2Go packages that have been built against Fedora 26 - the new Fedora release version. We hope this makes our package archive more useful. If you encounter dependency problems when installing X2Go release or nightly packages[2] under Fedora 26, please file a bug against X2Go BTS[3].

Sponsorship of X2Go macOS Client Development and of X2Go Linux on POWER Development
by Stefan Baur 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Hi everyone, as previously announced, CFD.direct has decided to sponsor our macOS Client Development, and XCLOUD.me, has jumped right in and offered us a special rebate, so we can run two of their smallest instances for the price of one medium instance. This means that will be able to offer automated X2GoClient for macOS builds both for macOS 10.10 (these should work on 10.9 and 10.8 as well) as well as for macOS 10.12. The machines have been provisioned today, and Mihai will be setting them up over the course of the next few days. Once he's done with that, we'll move on to supporting the POWER platform directly again (at present, some distributions grab our source and turn it into packages for their POWER flavor, but there's no official X2Go repository where you could get stable or nightly builds directly from us). IBM and the Oregon State University's Open Source Lab have teamed up and are providing us with four POWER8 virtual machines (with the option to add more, should the need arise), manageable via an OpenStack WebGUI. Unlike the previous POWER8 virtual machine that we had, these new servers are going to be available for us for the foreseeable future. We intend to run at least two (one for Big-Endian, the other for Little-Endian) of those machines as Jenkins Build Slaves, just as the virtual macOS machines, so we will soon be able to provide automated builds for POWER. The other two we currently intend to run as demo servers and for testing and bugsquashing, though we might repurpose them as Jenkins Build Slaves if it turns out that we need one per Endianess *and* packaging system (DEB vs. RPM). There's one bug that's cropped up on POWER8 LE only, and we're already curious to learn what's causing it, so we're glad we finally have access to a test environment again. Here is a quick overview over the sponsors mentioned above: CFD Direct <https://cfd.direct> are the primary developers of OpenFOAM <https://openfoam.org>, the free, open source software for computational fluid dynamics. XCLOUD.me <https://xcloud.me/> is a hosting company that specializes in providing virtual macOS cloud instances - all 100% legal, as the virtual machines run on top of real Apple hardware. IBM are the original developers of the POWER systems used in midrange computing. You can learn more about the Linux on POWER ecosystem here: <http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/linux/> Oregon State University's Open Source Lab (OSU/OSL) is a nonprofit organization working for the advancement of open source technologies. They offer various means of support to open source projects, one of them being free hosting on both Intel and POWER servers. To find out more about them, please visit their web site at <http://osuosl.org/> Kind Regards, Stefan Baur X2Go Project/Community Manager -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243
